JESC 2018 | Daneliya Tuleshova Will Represent Kazakhstan In Minsk

In the last few hours Kazakhstan held it's national final, and determined that Daneliya Tuleshova would be the countries first ever representative at the Junior Eurovision to be held in Minsk.
The national final saw ten acts compete for the honour of being the nations first ever representative, but it was twelve year old Daneliya Tuleshova who won that right. This isn't the first time that the young artist has won a contest representing her nation. Back in 2015 she won the 'People's Choice Awards' at the Junior new wave contest.
The show saw guest performers such as Amre, Madina Sadvakasova and Alem Band. Daneliya won enough votes from the televote, and professional jury to ensure she will be present at Minsk.
The young artist is the twelfth to be chosen in what will be a very difficult year to win. This year has seen a record 20 countries competing, which will see Kazakhstan alongside Wales debuting for the very first time at the competition. Also returning this year will be France, Israel and Azerbaijan. This years show will be held in Minsk in Belarus, and take place in the Minsk Arena on the 25th November 2018.
